The projection of a fibre bundle is a submersion #
For a fibre bundle V with model fibre F over a manifold B modelled on IB, the total space
carries the charts (trivializationAt F V b) ≫ (chartAt HB b × id), modelled on
IB.prod 𝓘(𝕜, F). In such a chart and the chart chartAt HB b of the base, the bundle
projection is the first projection (u, v) ↦ u. Hence the projection is a submersion in the
sense of Manifold.IsSubmersion, with the model fibre F as a complement. Smoothness of the
projection, Mathlib's Bundle.contMDiff_proj, is recovered from this by
Manifold.IsSubmersion.contMDiff.
The same chart computation identifies the derivative of the projection: composed with the
derivative of the inverse of a preferred chart of the total space, it is the derivative of the
inverse base chart applied to the first coordinate
(Bundle.mfderiv_proj_comp_mfderivWithin_extChartAt_symm). This is how forms built from the
derivative of the projection, such as the Liouville form of a cotangent bundle, are computed in
charts. In particular the derivative of the projection is surjective at every point
(Bundle.mfderiv_proj_surjective). A self-map of the total space covering the identity of the
base commutes with the derivative of the projection
(Bundle.mfderiv_proj_comp_mfderiv_of_proj_eq), and the derivative of a section is a right
inverse of the derivative of the projection, hence injective
(Bundle.mfderiv_injective_of_proj_comp_eq_id).
No linear structure on the fibres is used, and the regularity order n is arbitrary.
A point of the target of a preferred chart of the total space has its first coordinate in the target of the corresponding chart of the base.
Read through the inverse of a preferred chart of the total space, the bundle projection is the inverse of the base chart applied to the first coordinate.
The projection of a fibre bundle is a submersion, with the model fibre as complement: in the preferred charts of the total space and of the base, it is the first projection.
The projection of a fibre bundle is a submersion.
The derivative of the bundle projection in a preferred chart. Composed with the derivative of the inverse of a preferred chart of the total space, the derivative of the projection is the derivative of the inverse base chart applied to the first coordinate.
The derivative of the bundle projection is the first projection. Tangent vectors at a
point p of the total space are read in the preferred chart at p, as pairs of a base and a fibre
coordinate, and tangent vectors of the base in the chart at p.proj; in these coordinates the
derivative of the projection keeps the base coordinate.
The derivative of the projection of a fibre bundle is surjective at every point of the total space: every tangent vector of the base lifts to a tangent vector of the total space.
A self-map g of the total space covering the identity of the base commutes with the
derivative of the projection: dπ_{g z} ∘ dg_z = dπ_z.
The derivative of a section s of the bundle (π ∘ s = id) is a right inverse of the
derivative of the projection: dπ_{s b} ∘ ds_b = id.
A section s of the bundle (π ∘ s = id) has injective derivative at every point where it is
differentiable.
